That was odd, but what caught my attention was the way that Calgary Police Services described this activity: that drugs or alcohol were not believed to be a factor, the truck driver had to carefully navigate his way through obstacles and then down a half a block of sidewalk to get to the location of the crash, and this (http://www.calgaryherald.com/Driver+sma ... story.html):
How interesting. No other police statements appear to detail what the "ideology" in question may be. Needless to say, given that description I have suspicions.“His conduct is not surprising to us, so we have had situations like this across Canada and we are well acquainted with his ideology,” duty inspector Guy Baker said.
Feser faces dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and property damage charges and is in custody (http://www.albertapolicereport.ca/2013/ ... collision/).
Photographs of the truck and crash site show the vehicle embedded part-way through an exterior glass wall. The vehicle is unremarkable, aside from it bears "Bitcoins Accepted Here" stickers on the three visible surfaces.
I searched to see if Mr. Feser is one of our 'usual suspects', but did not find any clear link. What is obvious, though, is that he is trouble.
First, someone of the same name was tried in Hawaii for unlawful possession of red phosphorus with the intention of methamphetamine production. That led in 2004 to a three year prison sentence (http://archive.recapthelaw.org/hid/17946/). This may be the same case (http://www.plainsite.org/flashlight/case.html?id=154378).
In 2009 a "Jaren Wayne Feser", now aged 24, was tried in the British Columbia Supreme Court and received a two year conditional (house arrest) sentence for drunk driving (http://www.madd.ca/english/news/stories/n20090305.htm). Feser's conduct is described this way:
Sounds like a nice enough chap.Feser drove his Honda Civic in the wrong lane more than a kilometre, ignoring honking cars, before smashing into the Nissan Pathfinder, which rolled four or five times before landing upside down in a ditch. All six people in the van were taken to hospital with bruises, cuts and neck injuries.
...After the crash, Feser was belligerent and unco-operative with police, laughing about the accident and kicking and spitting at nurses who treated him.
Then in Oct. 24, 2012, a Jaren Wayne Feser was arrested for operating a "massive" meth lab in his house a small Alberta town, Galahad (http://www.edmontonsun.com/2012/10/27/p ... berta-town) (http://beaconnews.ca/reddeer/2012/10/rc ... n-galahad/). That certainly suggests we have the same person as involved in the U.S. trial.
Feser's next Court appearance is on August 7, 2013. I will be watching to see if his "ideology" is clarified at that point.
